How many cups of coffee can you drink per hour, divided by how many times you need to use the lav. Keep in mind, it's about 4 minutes to TOD at 1500fpm. Do you wait until you're on the gate for a 32 minute turn? Or can you meet all the STAR restrictions at 2000fpm and delay it until you're back in your seat?

Good one PostmasterGeneral I don't think the new version of nickynick got your sarcasm.

I have my 2 cents to add to what viper32 has already mentioned. Recruitment process was mid 2016.

PHONE CALL FOR INTERVIEW
They will ask if you are willing to move bases. The base will be assigned on Day 2 of Groundschool.

ONLINE ASSESSMENT
This has to be done within 5 days of when they call you to book an interview. I wouldn't stress about it. In my opinion, it doesn't disqualify you. Probably just a way to get to know you better and can also give you a few extra points if you do well on some of the learning based stuff.
There are 3 things measured

1. Your Behaviour Style at Work
E.g. Which of the following MOST describes how you work and which the LEAST?
Like a challenge / Thoughtful / Full of Fun / Easy to Get Along With

2. Your learning ability - there are a few different types of questions. I've put an example of each below. These are all time based.
a) Jim is not as tall as Bob. (The statement disappears followed by a question).
Who is taller? Jim/Bob

b) G D Y U
g f y r
See how many letters in the upper row match the lower row. Then answer that number as quickly as possible. In this case: 2

c) 4 12 9
You have to first mentally see which number is the largest and smallest. Then, pick the one that is furthest from the middle number.
So in this case, 12 and 4 are largest and smallest. You would pick 4 because it is furthest from 9.

d) table chair book
Pick the one that doesn't match with the others. In this case, book

There may be some other types. They explain each question and show you a sample before asking you if you are ready to do it. As you can see, you can't study for these and they are actually kinda fun.

3. Emotional IQ
There's a bunch of questions and you have to pick whether you disagree or agree or somewhere in the middle.
a) I don't have a lot of happy memories
b) I'm usually able to control other people
c) I must be under pressure to work hard
Just answer honestly.

SIM EVAL
King Air 200 Sim in Seneca College Toronto
45 minutes to study the speeds/config and SID/Approach plates

Takeoff, followed by steep turn, followed by hold over NDB inbound on the localizer, then a LOC approach followed by a missed, then a Single Engine ILS Approach. About 30 minutes.

REST OF THE CHECKS
References, criminal background, medical test (urine), how much notice you need to start. All expenses paid for by Jazz.

Reference checks could take 3 weeks to 2 months depending on your references so make sure they are available. They first get called to 'book' a phone interview for the next week. Then they are called for the actual interview and get asked a lot of stuff about you, so pick your references wisely.

I got an email the day after the sim eval for the rest of the checks. I don't know about other people's experience. I don't think they'll wait too long as they do want to get you in as soon as possible, before other carriers take you.

It's hard to judge how well you do in a sim. First of all, you're flying a sim which always sucks. Then the aircraft isn't familiar. You don't know the people you're with. Then you're nervous.

That being said, I think I did quite well for the circumstances, but I doubt that plays a factor in how soon they call you. Jazz is quite short of pilots. As long as you meet the minimum benchmark, you're good. They're not going to be picky when there aren't a lot of choices.

For the sim, keep using the PM and it'll make everything easier. Make them set headings, call altitudes, prompt you if you're deviating, direct you on the missed approach. They all want to help you. Be a cheerful crew member. Show that you will get along well with someone for a 4 day pairing (I was told this a lot by other people haha before I went through the recruitment process).

Can anyone say how long it usually takes to hear back for a sim invite after the in-person interview? I was told could take up to 2 weeks to hear yea or nay but I am just wondering the typical time frame.
